rubber shell protection has a worthgreat warranty (if you can get aid from customer service, which I can not get) dust magnet (not a actual problem, but it is noticeable)no way to store/secure cap when drive is plugged into a portwide physique signifies that if ports are too close with each other anything will have to be unplugged or an extension cable usedDon't count on to get enable when things go wrong and you navigate your way to the Corsair web website and fill out the online form requesting some client service. A when back, I purchased some Essential Gizmo Jr. 8 GB drives and a few days later a buddy purchased the Corsair Flash Voyager (on sale). Her USB hub's ports were too close with each other to use this drive with out unplugging an additional device she needed. Mainly because I advisable this purchase to her, we swapped drives. I have ports that enable me to run this drive with out a issue.Twice I have gone to Corsair's internet web site requesting enable from consumer service. Twice a notification that I would get a reply in 24 hours was displayed following I filled out the on the net type. Twice I did not get any service from the client service employees.

Properly constructed. This is my third Corsair Thumb drive. They are a wonderful worth. My prior thumb drives included a lanyard. Corsair no longer consists of this (hence four eggs rather than five)

Excellent speed, large capacity at a relatively low cost point Reliability challenges. I'm utilizing this drive as the main (boot) drive in an embedded (always on) Linux setup. It functions, but I've noticed that each and every couple of days the drive disconnects itself without having warning. My data is generally preserved, but obtaining to reboot my "always-on" server each and every few days is super annoying.

Inexpensive -er8GB The flash drive fell out of the rubber housing following a couple of days of use, not even rough use, and now it won't stay in it and the cap won't keep on. Wouldn't advocate this to others... Don't get if you're hunting for a solid construct that doesn't fall out of the housing. Manufacturer Response:We are quite sorry you had this challenge with your Voyager. Please enable us to replace it.You can RMA straight with Corsair or to Newegg.External Hyperlink(s): Corsair Speak to Web page|

-Great Shock resistant rubber housing.-Blue LED, my preferred color LED, i hate Green LEDs.-Eyelet really fits a keyring without breaking like most flash drives.-Free of charge Replacement caps through corsair's site -Cap is simply misplaced.-Rubber Housing begins to fall off flash module following about 6 months, nevertheless a tiny gorilla glue will repair it with no harming the circuit board. I've had this model of flash drive for more than a year and this is the second time the rubber hosing has began to come off of the circuit board module. The first 1 I RMAed, this time i decided to repair it at residence.To fix drop housing:-take away flash module form rubber housing entirely, and remove any excess glue.-Use a "Non-conductive" adhesive, i utilised gorilla glue that you can locate at walmart, and apply a generous quantity to the top of the flash memory chip on the best of the circuit board module.-Squeezing the blue sizes to pen the hosing in a circle, slide the Circuit board module back into the housing.-Set a coffee mug or other heavy object on leading pf the flash drive to hold the bond, or if you have one put it in a table vice or clamp.

Fantastic flash drive. Operates and appears to have decent speeds. Bought two and both of them died. RMA process was fairly quick, straightforward and painless.

No U3 crapware baked in. Plugged it in and it was a BLANK drive. 7.5gigs offered. Thank you Corsair for providing me what I expected with no hassle.I haven't tried operating this by means of the washer or other "oopsie" torture tests, but I believe the rubber casing is a good thought. Ugly? I don't care - operates fine. Cap could be tighter? Whatever.

Comment:
Good even though it worked It's a bit thick and may well be an challenge sticking it into a cramped area. Lasted about 6 months and then died. Cap is separate from flash drive and can be lost.

Comment:
been working flawlessly for two years and four monthsten year warranty, no receipt or packaging necessary to RMA.solid build, good cap that doesn't just fall off none genuinely, just recall to take away properly from operating program before pulling out of the USB port. this is better than the Flash Voyager Mini IMO. far more sturdy, fits in USB port far better.

Very well produced for the price tag. Had very important information on it. It went by way of the washer and dryer. Was incredibly warm when it came out, but all the data nonetheless worked. None of my other drives would have faired so effectively. Low cost for the dollars and free of charge shipping. What esle could you ask for? Not substantially, except I wish the rebate was currently included. Would be wonderful if it transfered a small faster as well. Strategy on acquiring far more when they are are sale.

Seems rapid sufficient, looks good, and is produced by Corsair so you know its trustworthy. A good flash drive, but not as impressive as some of the other individuals out there.

I dropped mine in a puddle of water last winter and....... yup u guessed it, I nevertheless have it and it functions great with no lost data from the fall!! Also good top quality for a good price tag! NONE! I do want they nonetheless came with a lanyard. It hold you from misplacing the drive! LOL

Nice, Rugged, Effect Resistant Rubber Design Is Sturdy Adequate For Me to place it on my Keychain!ten Year Warranty! Following 1 week of use and playing with the cap on my finger, the cap became shed and fell off and i lost it. Four months later, the flash drive circuit board module slid out of the rubber housing. (-two Eggs) They have Great service when it comes to their warranty!I RMAed The Flash Drive by way of Corsair to uncover out that they want you to pay the sipping, so i place it in a bubble mailer and slapped a 61cent cent on it. They Got it two days later, and emailed me with a tracking number for a replacement. It arrived in 3 days by means of ups, and was a Brand New, not refurbished, nonetheless sealed replacement! (Ư Egg For Wonderful Customer Service)

Low price with rebate Failed in the middle of moving files off it. I attempted a selection of computers and recovery software: none see the device as obtaining any media at all. Read here and in Corsair's forums: they really have a reliability challenge. I wouldn't trust this with information you don't have an additional source for. RMA this now.

Comment:
It got right here rapid and it works just like a thumb drive --- go figure. Still not cost-free... I've had my initially one particular for various months with no troubles so I felt safe purchasing another for my wife.

Comment:

It performs well. Came fomatted as fat32, re-formatted ntfs with no probs. I uncover that 8 gigs is about the suitable size for my wants. I can use it as prepared boost and keep information on it, or I could not. Depends on what is on it at the time. Back up back up and a lot more back up. Suitable now this lil device is the sole heir to my paragon pro 11 downloads. I have already backed that up onto two various HD's and I'm now ready to rid this data to all my hd's for even more redundancy. Paragon is wonderful. just don't shed it or something else you may adore, fees to substantially. None Got it on sale w/f/shipping for 14 bones and I'm satisfied with it. I have been burned by one more firm and so I got utilised to employing patriot and enjoy them very significantly. When I saw this on sale I believed I would give them a attempt. Love this now also. I'm not into the speed issue, I'm into data storage. As lengthy as it's there I'm satisfied. The factors I back up on these lil sticks can take as long as they want to transfer, just as extended as it's there for me to transfer reliably. This does all that greater then a bag of chips when you will need a moment. Twix is over rated.

Functions effectively. Dog got it and place a couple teeth marks into, and nevertheless functions like a champ on both Windows and Mac OS. WAY As well SLOW! I also bought a Super Talent eight Gbyte drive at about the identical time. The Super Talent is around three or four times more quickly than this Corsair drive. Plus, the Super Talent is smaller sized and has the spinning cap that can't be lost. Can't discover the Super Talent drive anymore, so I'm not certain what to get next. It certainly won't be another Corsair even though. I just can't deal with it getting so SLOWWWWW!

Bigger than my final Flash Voyager. Sturdy. Didn't come with a lanyard this time. Had the 2GB version for a extended time. Gave it away and got this larger version. By no means had a dilemma with either one. Very advisable. People often talk about speed with flash drives. If you are like most folks, you don't have a single giant 8GB file on this that you set up on your personal computer every day. Then turn about and place 8GB back onto the thumb drive later in the day. You in all probability have multiple files measured in megabytes. This drive is fairly swift, but if all you care about is speed in a flash drive, then you are missing the boat. I would rather have one that lasts any day. I don't care if my 50MB file requires two seconds longer to transfer.

They'll replace the cap if you loose it. I was sent one particular of these drives as a replacement for one more Corsair USB drive that failed. This drive seasoned the similar "lock up" error that every person else talks about the 1st time I plugged it into my personal computer. My other USB drives perform fine. Corsair is good to deal with, but they only appear to replace your drive with an additional drive that has the similar difficulty. Google it and you'll see that challenges with these drives are extremely typical. I'm on my third Corsair USB drive. I'd seriously like one particular that worked, but now I'm just tired of paying for shipping and padded envelopes and being sent terrible drives in return.
